Iron railings enclose the front gardens and

architecture of the building. At the grand
entrance porch, a plague commemorates the
residence of Sir George Beaumont in the early
C19 and a driveway to the rear provides parking
and a link to the timber carports and garage.
The gardens and grounds are particularly

shrubs and perennial plants, with specimen
and mature trees throughout the gardens. A
